Headphones for any mobile worker need at CES 2012
Thursday, January 12th, 2012 Karen Ambrose Hickey, Editor
Our CEO was at CES and when I asked what was a highlight, I got: “Headphones, headphones, headphones. Five years ago who knew we would all have multiple sets of headphones?”
I started thinking about how many pairs I have for various tasks – phone, workouts, listening to music/videos, and I’m not even an audiophile. Perhaps there’s a different headphone that’s ideal for each “screen” that you own? As your devices increase, so does your need for audio. Here’s some of what I found, with mobile workers in mind:
Great Audio Gear at CES 2012
Various vendors had headphones that were not only great at noise-cancelling, but also in sound quality. One in-ear version from Paradigm, included a mic for mobile devices.

And of course, the “celebrity” models were there:

Hi Ken, thanks for your comment. I appreciated that he gave me a quick opinion while passing through for his meetings, as he didn’t have time to stop. I think for some people, it’s a great opportunity to save money as many vendors travel to a central location. I hope you reconsider using iPass. Best regards.
Wow, a company focused on Enterprise Mobility sending their CEO to CES. Can you say boondoggle? This post on headphones totally makes me want to use the iPass service more…. Not! Why isn’t the CEO out selling? He hasn’t earned the right to boondoggle.
